Swanning About: 10 Swan DIY Projects & Ideas

If it wasn't for the grounding influence of the Apartment Therapy editors, this post would probably be 10 DIY Björk Swan Dress Swimsuits To Wear On Your Swan Pool Float, so you have them to thank for this collection of planters, cake toppers, headbands, straws—and the most amazing donuts ever.

This project uses those little swan favors you might see at party or dollar stores, but for something a bit more regal, you could keep an eye out at thrift stores for swan-shaped Avon perfume bottles—they have crowns!

This is technically a swan Valentine box, designed to hold sweet heart-shaped cards, but it's too cool to be limited to a once-a-year appearance. I'm not sure how you or your child would put one to use, but I do know that you need one.

This project is a bit older, but I had to show you because it's so clever, quick, and cheap, with just the perfect amount of delicious tackiness. Pick up a plastic swan planter at the hardware store or a garage sale, thread a string of lights through the drain hole, and you've got a gracefully glowing swan.

Speaking of tacky! This photo is designed to sell these teeny resin swans—available from Amazon and lots of other retailers—but I know that you're all clever enough to figure out how to create your own mini swan lake.
